My manufactuing company was bought again. I know this happens a lot however the change of registrars is getting old. The value is lost when an auditior knows the work and you lose them. The question is " I have a 5 visit cycle and have one more before the tri annual recert. Would it not be better to wait till the last audit and let the new registrar do the three year recert?
The is corporate driven :eek:but my case of just the twoman day rate may make a difference.....

I agree. Although there should not be a lot of difference in what the auditors are looking at, they seem to see things in different ways. Plus, the registrar may have some procedures distinctive to them such as retention times for certain records. Start anew with a new registrar...

Hello all,
We just went through a transfer audit from XXX to BSI and the new registrar accepted the previous schedule for auditing since they are all pretty much auditing the same systems (ISO 13485, medical devices).

We had a one day Meet & Greet, and after the auditor followed up on the open actions (previous findings) we were done. The reason we changed was because we did not feel that we were getting the full value from the previous registrar. Sometimes, the Auditor becomes too familiar with your operation, and this can be a disadvantage to you. A new set of eyes, a new way of thinking is not neccessarily a bad thing. You may have a finding that has never been brought to your attention before, (we did) and you may find that it is actually a good opportunity for growth (albeit somewhat painful initially).

Again, we chose to make a change rather than having it mandated from management, however, in my opinion a change is not neccessarily a bad thing.

Good Luck!

I've always found that the schedule is based on the calendar year. The finances of your company are not discussed during any audit section, and should be maintained as propriatary.

Way back when (early 90s) we had an auditor ask to see how the AR/AP system worked and I told him that we were audited by an independant financial auditor and that he was not allowed to review our financials. Never been asked again, so I believe there would be no reason for the auditor to ask about your fiscal year.
